i followed the link above, and although i understood about 0.1% of it, it was very reassuring about my flash disk! Which answers my original question, so thanks.

I've installed Puppy to a CF card in an adapter using the built-in installation routine - and I suddenly have lots of available memory showing in the toolbar compared with when I was running off a smaller USB stick.

I'm new to Linux and I don't yet understand where I find the equivalent of the Autoexec.bat, config sys etc files tha...

It is part of a home network where all the other machines are Win2K, but I can use Samba to scan, log into and access shares et...
